Southwest ran into its former offensive coordinator on Oct. 23, and the outcome, surprisingly, was more of a defensive battle.

The Dragons (2-6, 1-2), despite a scoreless second half, prevailed 21-0 over South San. The Bobcats (1-7, 1-2) are coached by Louis James, who was Southwest’s offensive coordinator for the past several seasons.

Southwest senior Tyrone Middleton scored the first two touchdowns, following Nick Talamantez’s block into the end zone on the first and rushing 19 yards for the second. Junior John Blaz scored on a 16-yard sweep in the second quarter for what proved to be the game’s final touchdown.

The Eagles (3-6, 3-4) fortified their playoff possibilities with a District 28-5A win over Jefferson (2-6, 2-4) on Oct. 23 at Alamo Stadium.

Brackenridge senior quarterback Antonio Lopez (26 of 37, 385 yards) returned to action to lead the victory, throwing five touchdown passes and running for two scores. Jalen Davis caught 12 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns.

The Eagles rallied to tie it 28-28 at halftime on a 23-yard pass from Lopez to Jonathan King. A 13-yard pass from Anthony Enochs to Axel Tanajara regained the Mustangs’ lead, but Lopez ran for a one-yard touchdown and tossed a pair of scoring passes to Davis.
